I agree Doug. With my 350 I just can't afford to pay to have it done so I've got to go in there and do it myself. The forum gives me confidence like some beers and a few shots of whiskey. I would maybe hand it over to mbtechman for $500, but unfortunately tranny and car are in DC area and fix is going to be done before I repatriate to the NOLA area.

Bottom line is with right tools, time, and definitely this forum it can be done (I'm double crossing my fingers of course), and it's the only way to learn.
